Putting Myself Out There

I had a conversation on Saturday wtih Eleni while working in Kashiwa about my single status, and what I was looking for and everything, she seemed happy to talk to me about it, and shared a lot of thoughts and background on herself, which seems to be the norm for people when I talk to them. I seem to have a knack for making people feel like they can tell me their life stories, which in and of itself I have no objection to, it's just weird the frequency with which it happens.

She wanted to know what I was looking for in a girl, and this is what I said:
I won't have sex with a girl anymore that I wouldn't want to have kids with, which means my standards for a sex partner are pretty much as harsh as they get. But, that doesn't matter because I'm not looking for a girl to have sex with. I'm looking for female companionship, someone to spend time with and go do shit together, and if there happens to be more to it than that, well, great. She got caught up on this for a while, until I clarified a little futher that my standards for a partner do not in any way apply to my desire for companionship, at which point she realized that those two things can in fact function together at the same time.

Sunday I worked in Matsudo and afterwards I went out with Samantha and Walter and Vinny to the dive bar and Nijyu Maru after that, where we enjoyed a great many drinks, cigarettes, and funny conversation topics. I seemed to bond a little bit with Walter, which is really good because for a long time he was kind of an untouchable character, and now it seems we've gotten to be friends. Good shit.

I was supposed to pull an all nighter in Roppongi tonight with Bryan and his crew, but it seems that they've decided to be big giant vaginas and stay home after a long day of shopping and traveling around. They've moved their trip to Wednesday night, a night when Rob and Eleni have planned an all nighter already, because of their days off, but I can't go then because I work. So basically everything got swapped around to make it so that I really can't go to anything he's doing this week while his friends are visiting. I missed his show on Saturday because of work, and I will miss the all nighter too, and going to Mito with them tomorrow because I have to go visit Ty in the slammer.

In further news on that matter, it seems that the decision regarding his status will be made by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, and thanks to a great deal of translating on the part of Naoko, there have been many papers signed and filled out which may be helping out Ty's case. Naoko got the person Ty assaulted to sign a document saying they forgive him for what he did and that they will not press charges, but the matter of the policeman he bit still remains a mystery. I will find out more tomorrow when I go to visit him. He needs more books, cause he's finished all the ones I brought him last time. Little wonder, only three books and he's been in there a week since I last saw him.
